National Humanities Alliance
The Digital Preservation Services Collaborative is an informal and all volunteer gathering of mission-focused digital preservation service providers who are allied to strategize and advocate for effective and equitable digital preservation practice that aligns with good practice and guidance from expertise within cultural heritage fields. Its members come from Lyrasis, the Texas Digital Library consortium, Chronopolis, Academic Preservation Trust, Educopia, MetaArchive, and CLOCKSS communities. Several organizations have expressed a desire to get involved in this initiative by reaching out to us.
To help better manage collaboration, we created an Expression of Interest (EOI) Form: https://goo.gl/forms/EhpUUhxUFKROVLnF2. If you’re interested in getting involved, please let us know via this form.

Urge Your Representative to Join the Congressional History Caucus
What actions can we take to support federal funding of the humanities, even as we keep an eye on Congress’s appropriations discussions? As we fight to ensure that drastic cuts don’t become law, our most important assets are our allies in Congress. That’s why this is the perfect time to make a push for the Congressional History Caucus! The History Caucus is the brainchild of the National Coalition for History (NCH), of which CoSA is a policy board member. It provides a forum for members of Congress to share their interest in history and to promote awareness of the subject on Capitol Hill. Find resources for contacting your representatives.
